As you may remember, Microsoft has removed the IE Mode feature from Microsoft Edge. THe company has limited it to enterprise customers and IT admins. They have also stated that the feature was released to the public for testing purposes only. Here is a bit of good news - you can re-enable IE Mode when needed with recent versions of Edge!
C# vNext Features with Status
This page contains the list of features the C# team is currently working on and their progress status.
When a feature status is "Merged" this means that the work to implement the feature is complete and available in the next preview version.
The .NET Core and the Core Libraries are open source and run on Windows, Mac, and Linux. In fact, you can run them with support, today, in production on Windows and Linux (Mac is for development, not production).
New Features
Comes with Git v2.19.0.
There are now fast, built-in versions of git stash and git rebase, available as experimental options.
The included OpenSSH client now enables modern ciphers.
The gitweb component was removed because it is highly unlikely to be used on Windows.
The git archimport tool (which was probably used by exactly 0 users) is no longer included in Git for Windows.
There is a myth about white text over black backgrounds being the best color contrast combination for accessibility, but in reality, white text on black backgrounds creates a visual fuzzing effect for people with astigmatism called “halation”. This effect is known to reduce text readability and is particularly bad for people with astigmatism because it can cause terrible headaches.

یک نکتهی تکمیلی
ACME V1 تا چند ماه دیگر به پایان خواهد رسید:In June of 2020 we will stop allowing new domains to validate via ACMEv1.
A simple Windows ACMEv2 client (WACS) Software version 2.1.3.671 (RELEASE, PLUGGABLE) IIS version 7.5 Running with administrator credentials Scheduled task not configured yet Please report issues at https://github.com/PKISharp/win-acme N: Create new certificate (simple for IIS) M: Create new certificate (full options) L: List scheduled renewals R: Renew scheduled S: Renew specific A: Renew *all* O: More options... Q: Quit Please choose from the menu: m Running in mode: Interactive, Advanced Please specify how the list of domain names that will be included in the certificate should be determined. If you choose for one of the "all bindings" options, the list will automatically be updated for future renewals to reflect the bindings at that time. 1: IIS 2: Manual input 3: CSR created by another program C: Abort How shall we determine the domain(s) to include in the certificate?: 1 Please select which website(s) should be scanned for host names. You may input one or more site identifiers (comma separated) to filter by those sites, or alternatively leave the input empty to scan *all* websites. 1: Default Web Site (2 bindings) Site identifier(s) or <ENTER> to choose all: 1 1: dotnettips.info (Site 1) 2: www.dotnettips.info (Site 1) You may either choose to include all listed bindings as host names in your certificate, or apply an additional filter. Different types of filters are available. 1: Pick specific bindings from the list 2: Pick bindings based on a search pattern 3: Pick bindings based on a regular expression 4: Pick *all* bindings How do you want to pick the bindings?: 4 1: dotnettips.info (Site 1) 2: www.dotnettips.info (Site 1) Please pick the most important host name from the list. This will be displayed to your users as the subject of the certificate. Common name: 2 1: dotnettips.info (Site 1) 2: www.dotnettips.info (Site 1) Continue with this selection? (y*/n) - yes Target generated using plugin IIS: www.dotnettips.info and 1 alternatives Suggested friendly name '[IIS] Default Web Site, (any host)', press <ENTER> to accept or type an alternative: <Enter> The ACME server will need to verify that you are the owner of the domain names that you are requesting the certificate for. This happens both during initial setup *and* for every future renewal. There are two main methods of doing so: answering specific http requests (http-01) or create specific dns records (dns-01). For wildcard domains the latter is the only option. Various additional plugins are available from https://github.com/PKISharp/win-acme/. 1: [http-01] Save verification files on (network) path 2: [http-01] Serve verification files from memory (recommended) 3: [http-01] Upload verification files via FTP(S) 4: [http-01] Upload verification files via SSH-FTP 5: [http-01] Upload verification files via WebDav 6: [dns-01] Create verification records manually (auto-renew not possible) 7: [dns-01] Create verification records with acme-dns (https://github.com/joohoi/acme-dns) 8: [dns-01] Create verification records with your own script 9: [tls-alpn-01] Answer TLS verification request from win-acme C: Abort How would you like prove ownership for the domain(s) in the certificate?: 2 After ownership of the domain(s) has been proven, we will create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to obtain the actual certificate. The CSR determines properties of the certificate like which (type of) key to use. If you are not sure what to pick here, RSA is the safe default. 1: Elliptic Curve key 2: RSA key What kind of private key should be used for the certificate?: 2 When we have the certificate, you can store in one or more ways to make it accessible to your applications. The Windows Certificate Store is the default location for IIS (unless you are managing a cluster of them). 1: IIS Central Certificate Store (.pfx per domain) 2: PEM encoded files (Apache, nginx, etc.) 3: Windows Certificate Store C: Abort How would you like to store the certificate?: 3 1: IIS Central Certificate Store (.pfx per domain) 2: PEM encoded files (Apache, nginx, etc.) 3: No additional storage steps required C: Abort Would you like to store it in another way too?: 3 With the certificate saved to the store(s) of your choice, you may choose one or more steps to update your applications, e.g. to configure the new thumbprint, or to update bindings. 1: Create or update https bindings in IIS 2: Create or update ftps bindings in IIS 3: Start external script or program 4: Do not run any (extra) installation steps Which installation step should run first?: 1 Use different site for installation? (y/n*) - no 1: Create or update ftps bindings in IIS 2: Start external script or program 3: Do not run any (extra) installation steps Add another installation step?: 3 Enter email(s) for notifications about problems and abuse (comma seperated): name@site.com Terms of service: C:\ProgramData\win-acme\acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org\LE-SA-v1.2-November-15-2017.pdf Open in default application?
